Michelin Lithion 3 Folding Tyre Red

The Michelin Lithion 3 Folding Tyre in Red is the perfect choice for cyclists who want a combination of performance and durability. This tyre is designed to provide a comfortable ride while also offering puncture resistance, making it ideal for long rides on different terrains.

The tyre features an overlapped 3x60 tpi ESC extra supple casing that is reinforced with a puncture-resistant crown ply. This design ensures that the tyre is both comfortable and durable, providing a smooth ride even on rough roads. The herringbone tread pattern and silica compound also contribute to the tyre's excellent performance, providing excellent grip and traction on both wet and dry surfaces.

The Michelin Lithion 3 Folding Tyre in Red is available in two sizes, 23-622 (700*23c) and 25-622 (700*25c), and weighs only 230 grams. The two-tone silica-based tread with a smooth center and chevron shoulder rubber adds to the tyre's aesthetic appeal, making it a great choice for cyclists who want a tyre that looks as good as it performs.

In 1889 two brothers, Édouard Michelin and André Michelin, ran a rubber factory in Clermont-Ferrand, France. One day, a cyclist whose pneumatic rim needed repair showed up at the factory. They repaired his bike but he failed again after a few meters. Despite the setback, Édouard was enthusiastic about the pneumatic rim, and he and his brother worked on creating their own bicycle tyre. In 1891 Michelin took out its first patent for a detachable bicycle tyre.

The Michelin brand, of French origin, currently develops, manufactures and markets tyres for all types of vehicles, from airplanes to cars, two-wheelers, civil engineering, subways, agriculture and trucks. We obviously focus on all the tyres and tires for urban and road bikes that the brand has available.
